On February 24, it is advisable to get married and travel.

In the city of Quanzhou, in the streets and alleys, the people are competing for color, and the flow of people is like a tide.

When a few businessmen first arrived in Quanzhou, they thought they had encountered some special local festival in Quanzhou.

A few people will get off the boat, all the way west from the avenue, suddenly a strong smell of meat hits, a few people can't help but mouth, appetite is greatly boosted, smell the fragrance and go, see a restaurant, the rich meat fragrance is from the front of the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, your meat stew is so fragrant!" A strong man of twenty-five or sixteen at the head straightened his nose, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes kept glancing into the store.

"Don't hide it from the guest officer, our meat, all over Quanzhou City, you can't find a second one!" The shopkeeper is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old doll, with yellow hair on her mouth that has not yet faded, a towel hanging from her shoulder, and a smile on her face.

"What's the name of your meat?" The strong man at the head asked curiously.

"Guest officer, please, listen to the villain slowly tell you!" The shopkeeper bowed and shook the handkerchief, and greeted him sideways with a smile on his face.

"Just about to taste it!" The strong man walked ahead and strode into the store.

Now it's just a late hour, it's not yet time to eat, and there are few customers in the store.

"Xiao Er, bring up your stewed meat for ten catties, and bring another jar of good wine!"

"Okay!" The smile on the face of the shopkeeper became brighter and brighter, and even shouted at the back kitchen: "Ten catties of cooked meat, a jar of good wine!" ”

"The guest officer will sit down for a while, and the wine and meat will come immediately!"

The strong man led by him called the shopkeeper and asked the doubts in his heart: "Little Er, let me ask you something, what is the festival today, why is every household in the city decorated with lights, is it so lively?" ”

Xiao Er looked at a few people and said with a smile: "A few guest officers have either just come back from going out for a long time, or they are coming to our Quanzhou for the first time!" ”

"Oh? What else can't be said here? The strong man asked curiously.

The shopkeeper said: "If you are all in Quanzhou recently, you will naturally not know that today is the big day of our Quanzhou Wang Tong's judgment Wang!" The people were grateful for the kindness of the judgment, and since the day before yesterday, they spontaneously put up lights in the city to congratulate Wang Tongju! ”

"But the Wang Tong judgment who created the wonderful method of drying salt?" The strong man immediately asked.

"We only have this one person in Quanzhou, and there is no one else!"

"A few guest officials are lucky today, the day before yesterday the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce sent someone to come, in order to congratulate Wang Tong, all the teahouses and restaurants in the city today, but where there are guests to the door, although the wine and meat are put on the account, they are recorded in the account of the Chamber of Commerce, and someone will come to settle tomorrow."

"And such a good thing?" The strong man and his companions were amazed.

The shopkeeper explained brightly: "What is this, if there is no Wang Tongju, how can we Quanzhou today, let alone these businesses in the city, it is the people in our Quanzhou City, and there is no one who dare not read the judgment of kindness!" ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper sighed and said with some regret: "If it weren't for the general judgment, we would have set up a shrine for the general judgment a long time ago, and we would have made incense offerings every day!" ”

"Oh?" The strong man became more and more curious, looked at the shopkeeper and couldn't wait to ask: "There are still people in the world who don't want others to make incense offerings to their own ancestral halls?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Wang Tong said that the term of office as an official is to govern the place and make the people live a prosperous life, not for the sake of any incense sacrifices, and also said that instead of spending money on incense and candle tribute, it is better to spend the money on his eldest son and nephew, so that the old can be supported, and the little can be relied on, and it is far better to buy more meat for his wife and children to eat, which is far better than setting up an ancestral hall for him." ”

The strong man and his companions were really shocked by the words of the shopkeeper, the people in this world, who have worked hard for half their lives and worked hard for nothing more than for fame and profit, but this Wang Tongju acted completely differently.

"Don't hide it from the second brother, a few of our brothers just heard about Wang Tong's judgment, so they came thousands of miles away, thinking that they could ask for an errand in Quanzhou." The strong man didn't know what to think, so he suddenly arched his hand at the shopkeeper and asked, "I wonder if the second brother can give me some advice?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the strong man's five big and three thick figures, and said, "It depends on what the guest officer wants to do!" ”

"What's not to say?" The strong man asked.

The shopkeeper said: "If the guest wants to join the army, the pier can sign up to the north, as long as the net worth is innocent!" If you want to go to sea to do business, you can go to the ship department yamen in the south, if you don't have capital, you can go to various businesses, if you want to farm, you can go to Jinjiang County Yamen in the city, if you want to buy land, there is a tooth shop next to the city gate·······"

······

In Jinjiang City, the king's house.

Although Wang Chong did not make a big publicity, the officials and gentry and wealthy families in Quanzhou spontaneously came to congratulate them, but at the end of the day, Wang Chong was staggered by Yu Chuer into the inner courtyard, and the matter of entertaining the guests was naturally entrusted to Wang Chong's good official, who was also Quanzhou's parent official Chen Jun.

In the new house, Minglan who was dressed in new clothes, with a phoenix crown on her head and a fan in her hand, listened to the sound of the door opening, and her heart suddenly became nervous, and she hurriedly lifted the fan in her hand to cover her pretty face, but she couldn't help but quietly put the fan lower, and looked at the door cautiously like a thief.

I saw a red groom's dress, Wang Chong, who was wearing a jade crown, with a smell of wine, opened the curtain and walked into the inner room.

There is a pair of big red candles burning on the table, the red clothes on the body and the green clothes on the bed are contrasting, it looks very gratifying, Wang Zhong has long been married and how many women he has had, but today he has three books and six ceremonies, and it is the first time to marry a daughter-in-law in a sedan chair, and there is a different taste in his heart.

Walking quickly to the side of the bed, the fan in Minglan 's hand also moved with Wang Chong, always stopping between the two.

Wang Chong raised his hand to catch the slender jade hand holding the fan, took off the fan, put it aside, looked at Minglan's delicate face, Wang Chongzhan smiled softly, and called: "Lady!" ”

"Official!" Minglan was instantly covered with redness, lowered her head shyly, didn't dare to look at Wang Chong, and replied softly.

"From today onwards, the sixth sister is my Wang family!" Wang Chong's title suddenly changed.

"Huh?" Minglan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard this, raised her head, looked at Wang Chong, and seemed to ask why she suddenly called herself the sixth sister again.

Wang Chong seemed to see the doubts in Minglan 's heart, and while taking off the phoenix crown on Minglan head, he said with a smile: "I think it's better for the sixth sister to scream!" ”

"Officials don't make fun of concubines!" Minglan turned sideways and said.

Wang Chong suddenly possessed himself, and picked up Minglan by the waist, and he also stood up, Minglan was startled, and hurriedly wrapped his arms around Wang Chong's neck, as if he thought of something, and instantly his little head shrank up like a quail.

But the expected thing did not come, Wang Zhong hugged Minglan to the table and sat down, and then ordered outside: "Come in!" ”

As soon as Wang Chong's words fell, several female envoys pushed the door in, still holding a tray of fragrant rice and a few steaming dishes in their hands.

"After tossing for a day, the sixth sister must be hungry, let's eat some food first, and then get down to business!"

Minglan was still a little shy, but she was really hungry, although Wang Chong arranged for someone to bring food over at noon, but now it was not the end, Minglan was already hungry.

After two bowls of rice, Minglan burped very unhappily, and then quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and looked at Wang Zhong a little crampedly.

Wang Chong laughed, let people withdraw the meal, and pulled Minglan to the bed, the pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table were burning, and a bunch of newcomers in the tent were getting closer and closer.

It was already dark outside, and the guests were still eating and drinking in the front hall until the moon.

Early the next morning, but at the end of the day, the newcomer who was still warm in bed was woken up by his mother, went to the back hall to worship his ancestors, and kowtowed to the parents and grandparents of Wang Chong's body, and the two went to meet the eldest sister-in-law Wang Li and Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng looked at Minglan and looked good, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as a woman, Mrs. Sheng naturally knew the doorway, Wang Chong was in the prime of life, Mrs. Sheng was inevitably worried that Wang Chong did not know moderation, and pulled her granddaughter to toss endlessly, and now it seems that Wang Chong is a person who knows how to feel distressed.

I was more and more satisfied with Wang Chong, and the brothers Wang Qianer and Wang Xu also came to meet the new aunt.

After a salute, Wang Li asked people to bring the meal, and a large family sat around the table, eating exquisite breakfast, and chatting.

"From today on, the lady is the eldest lady in the family, and the housekeeper's affairs have to be put on the agenda, there are not many people in the family, and the house is small, for the lady, it should be handy!"

Wang Li also smiled and said: "What my uncle said is that now that my sister is here, I can also free my hands and put more thoughts on the dyeing workshop!" lest Wei Niangzi always say that I am the shopkeeper! ”

"I haven't read any books, and in the future, Sister Qian and Brother Xu will have to bother their sister to help me discipline more!"

"It's all a family, Minglan will do her best!" Minglan didn't say anything prevaricating, and agreed directly.

"Then it's hard sister! If they are disobedient, my sister will use the family law! Don't be afraid. When Wang Li said this, he didn't forget to give a pair of children a look.

The two sisters and brothers immediately got up and saluted Minglan .

Old Mrs. Sheng sat next to her, looking at Minglan and Wang Chong's family, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and many vague memories hidden in the depths of her mind emerged, and in a trance, she seemed to see what she looked like when she first married into the Sheng family decades ago.

After breakfast, Wang Li went to the dyeing workshop, Wang Qian'er and Wang Xu went to the school, Wang remarried Yan'er, naturally had to have a few days off, and the big and small things in the yamen were all taken care of by Chen Jun, Wang Zhong led Mrs. Sheng and Minglan out for a stroll.

Although it is only late February, due to the geographical location, Quanzhou has long been full of vitality and flowers.

I don't know if it's the intrigue in the inner house, or when I arrive in a new place, seeing that my granddaughter has a home, Mrs. Sheng's mood has also improved, and she can see a smile on her face from time to time, and sometimes she will laugh very heartily, very happy.

After only ten days in Quanzhou, his complexion became more and more ruddy, and his body gradually became stronger.

Time passed day by day, Minglan gradually got used to the days of sharing the bed with Wang Chong, the two newlywed Yan'er, it was the time for honey to mix oil, although Wang Chong never said those romantic and nice words, but Minglan had nothing to say.

It's just that Minglan suffered, and at night I had to study with Wang Chong how to inherit the Wang family and continue the incense, and I had to go to Mrs. Sheng early in the morning to say goodbye, and I couldn't sleep lazy every day, so I could only make up for it at noon.

On this day, Wang Chong was handling the official business of the Shipping Department in the yamen, and Yu Chuer suddenly came to report, saying that there was a man outside the door and wanted to see Wang Chong.

"That guy looks pretty good!" Yu Chu Erdao.

"I'd like to see what a good way it is!" Hearing Yu Chuer say this, Wang Chong immediately became interested, and immediately asked Yu Chuer to take people to the front hall, and he personally met him.

After a while, Wang Chong was in the front hall and saw the quite good man in Yu Chuer's mouth.

The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, straw sandals under his feet, although his clothes were simple, but he was very clean, his hair was quite neat, he was very tall, even slightly taller than Wang Zhong, and he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which was very strong, and he knew that he was a powerful one at a glance.

"Grass people Niu Er, I've seen the general judgment!" The strong man Niu Er bowed to Wang Zhong with his fists.

"Niu Er? Who are you, and what is the matter with the search for the officer? Wang Zhong asked.

Niu Er said straightforwardly: "I am from Weizhou, I followed my fellow villagers to Quanzhou, I heard about what the general judge did in Quanzhou, I admired it in my heart, and I heard that the general judge was recruiting talents, so I thought about coming over and trying to see if I could be looked down upon by the general judgment and have a future." ”

"You're straightforward!" Wang Zhong looked at the bull's head and said with a smile.

"I've always been a straight intestine, and I don't know those twists and turns!" Niu Er looked like a reckless man.

Wang Zhong asked: "Look at you walking between the dragons and tigers, there are calluses on the back of your hands and fingers, I don't know how your martial arts are?" ”

"I followed the master to learn some boxing and foot sumo skills, know some guns and sticks, never lost a fight with people, and a dozen people can't get close to my body, I used to work in the Western Army for a while, I couldn't stand the bird's anger of Shangguan, so I simply left, and then went to the rivers and lakes, did a guard for the caravan, and killed a lot of robbers, but I have not been able to save money, I can't ask for a daughter-in-law, I heard that Tong Ju is a very powerful character, those people under your hands, all of them are rich, I just want to come over to Tong Ju, and make more money, Ask a mother-in-law to come back and inherit the incense for my old cow's family, if you can have a future, it will be better. Niu Er spoke a little rudely, but he was not rude.

"As long as you have the ability, you won't have to worry about making a fortune and having no future!" Niu Er's body alone is not comparable to ordinary people, his height is only a little higher than Wang Chong, but his body is one-third stronger than Wang Chong.

"Can you get a wife?" Niu Er looked at Wang Zhong and asked.

"As long as you have the ability, you will naturally get a wife!"
